“my wife and i pray every day for a return to civil discourse.”

Really? I pray that decent people will become as aggressive with the truth as libtards are with lies.

How does one refer to a despicable scoundrel as a despicable scoundrel with civility?

sounds like we agree about the lack of civil discourse.

but how are you going to be aggressive with the truth

without competitive outlets against cnn, msnbc, abc, cbs, nbc, npr?

we’re out numbered. fox news is not conservative.

How about by using the methods the left used before all those media were monolithically leftist?

Pass out flyers on street corners. Publish alternative newspapers (Remember the LA Free Press? The East Village Other? The Rocky Mountain Free Press? Rolling Stone, in its early days? Underground Comics?) Hold rallies (and have ways to attract people, like Ted Nugent concerts).

Engage in civil disobedience. Do things that can’t be ignored, such as shutting down state legislatures with sit-ins. Counter-demonstrate against leftards, even if that leads to using the minimum amount of force necessary to protect one’s life (certainly not advocating violence, there, because that’s against the rules).

The mortar farging Tea Party in this state and its capitol city is farging INVISIBLE! If I took a man-on-the-street poll, I doubt that more than 5% of respondants would report that they were even aware of the existence of a Tea Party here.

We must be tireless, courageous, and obstreperous.

It is long past time for decent people to wake up and realize that when dealing with scumbags, civility is nothing but a self-imposed handicap. Signs at rallies should go as far as the truth will allow. Obama *is* a liar; congressional demonrats *are* serial felons.

Do you think the leftards would *ever* have let the Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and Jerry Parks murders be forgotten if the perp had been a Republican president? Those names would be as fresh on everyone’s tongue now as on the days they were killed.

Why are we losing? Because we are pussies. Simple as that.
